Novosphingobium capsulatum is a gram-negative bacterium in the family Sphingomonadaceae, characterised by the production of an extracellular capsule. It is found in soil and freshwater environments and belongs to a genus known for aromatic compound degradation. Its conservation status is not evaluated.

Novosphingobium lindaniclasticum is a Gram-negative rod named for its ability to degrade lindane, a persistent organochlorine pesticide. It has been isolated from lindane-contaminated soils and wastewater environments. This specialized bacterium is of significant interest for bioremediation of chlorinated pesticide contamination in agricultural soils.
